Ignominy For The People Of The Scripture

LESSON
# 407 FROM HOLY QUR’AN

Ignominy
For The People Of The Scripture

Surah ‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter
- 3)

Verse –112a of 200, Section –12 (Part – 4)

Ignominy
shall be their portion wheresoever they are found save (where they grasp) a
rope from Allah and a rope from men. They have incurred anger from their
Lord, and wretchedness is laid upon them.

Zuribat – {grievous
hurt, is stroke, shall be (their) portion} this Arabic word
is also used besides above meanings as “to walk, to affix and to impose”. It
has been used for these three meanings in the Holy Qur’an too. Here it has been
used as the last meanings of ‘affixed’ or ‘imposed’ (ignominy upon them).

Zillatun- (Ignominy), this word is
commonly used for humiliation and disgrace. Some disgraced people and nations remain
deprived of respect and honor despite their knowledge, wealth and independence.
The disgrace and the humiliation surround them.

Hablim-minallaahi - (a rope or promise from Allah), means unless these
people will not make the Divine law of Islam theirs’ own and follow Allah’s Instructions,
ignominy will not be kept away from them. (for more explanation please read
lesson # 398).

Hablim-minannaasi
- (a rope or promise from the people) second condition is
fixed that if it is not so, then they would have to enter in the articles of
agreement with the human beings. Until when they will not get the support of
other nations, will not be able to get rid of the disgrace and humiliation.

baaa-‘uu
bi gazabim-minallaahi - (They have incurred anger from their
Lord), means they came in the fold of Allah’s wrath due to their evil doings and
bad deeds, Divine wrath imposed upon them.

‘al-maskanah - (wretchedness) poverty and indigence
are also forms of anger and wrath of Allah. The financial misery and the economic
breakdown are main causes of disgrace themselves of any nation.
